During a recent press tour event, Sarah Paulson dropped new details about the character she’ll be playing in the upcoming season of American Horror Story: Cult.
After reporters had seen a tour of the set, Paulson said to them, “There are two women married to each other in that house, but who are they?”

As first reported by EW, the Emmy award-winning actress then pointed to actress Alison Pill and herself before dropping, “It’s me and Alison.”
Pill then feigned shock over the detail slip and Paulson quickly added, “That may or may not be true.”
It was previously revealed that Paulson will play Ally Mayfair-Richards, while Pill will play Ivy Mayfair-Richards. This is the first time the two actresses have worked together.
When asked about it, Pill said, “We’ve known each other for a long time and have never had a chance to work together, so it really is the most exciting to have all of these scenes with the person who I couldn’t respect more and who is so good at acting.”
Additionally, the shows executive producer, Alexis Martin Woodall, talked to reporters about Ryan Murphy teasing that this season will be influenced by the election of Donald Trump.
Woodall said, “I would say honestly that when Ryan had made the announcement originally that the season would deal with Trump, it’s more about what’s going on in the world around us. We talk about the streak of paranoia, and a lot of it launches from that. It’s not what you think it is. As with all good horror and suspense, knowing less is so much more. But it’s an element in our launch point.”
